Problem
• Until now the team has been focused on getting the
car to finish the race distance.
• This season we won 5th place at Shell Eco Marathon
Rotterdam and 2nd place at Educ Eco near Toulouse.
Driving a distance of around 200km.
• In order to be able to win those competition we
have to redesign our whole car concentrating on
aerodynamics and weight.

Optimization result
• Starting designing the
new frame
• Position of the beams
because of the force
flows
• Available design space
and joints
• Aerodynamic
development next to
the space frame
development

Result
• Reduction of mass 83%
• Total increase of displacement over the whole
system less than 10%
• Better integration of functions
• Design of part more beautiful
• But biggest archievment through change of
material instead of optimization
